There was nothing wrong with the Folonari, I just think the Masi is a better value. I found a dusty minerality, ripe red fruits and berries, and a little sweet spice on the nose. On the palate were juicy red fruits, berries, and cherries, vanilla and spice, with soft tannins. A great little Italian food wine that will go well with meats and tomato sauces. This wine promises to please a crowd without breaking the bank.

Wine number two, the Rosso Delle Venezie, didn't even get to play. It had a very large dose of Brett, a fault, so back to the liquor store it goes.

This Pinot Grigio had salt-water taffy and flowers, with white and green fruits on the nose. On the palate were fresh fruits and steely notes, finishing with a burnt-caramel taste that was really quite yummy. It had more body and depth than most Pinot Grigios I’ve tasted. This is another great little Italian food wine that will go especially well with soft cheeses and creamy pastas. The bonus is this wine’s as kind to the palate as it is to the pocket book.
